Both corpora explore only YouTube comments, whereas Twitter also is a rich source of social media texts where users can share their feelings and opinions.

The low Inter-Annotator Agreement (IAA) of 0.63 for the English dataset in HopeEDI [1]} corpus reveals a lack of confidence in the annotations.

Palakodety et al. (2020) [2]} very specifically explores only positivity and supportive comments about conflicts between India and Pakistan that reveals two issues: (i) the corpus is biased towards the conflicts between India and Pakistan about Kashmir and (ii) the concept of hope is not considered

Both the corpora are constructed for hope speech detection only as a binary classification task.

The most significant criticism on both the corpora is in the annotation guidelines where they consider hope simply as a positive vibe and support, that partially may support concepts of generalized hope, optimism, and positivity. However, based on definitions of hope [3]}, [4]}, [5]}, [6]}, [7]}, [8]}, [9]}, [10]}, [2]}, they are not entirely in line with the idea of hope as having an expectation and desire of something to happen. Therefore, both corpora are more likely supportive and positive comment detection corpora.
